Synopsis :

En route to make their fortunes, the passengers of the Golden Mary suffer a terrifying ordeal when their vessel collides with an iceberg. Now the helpless victims of shipwreck, they turn to the restorative powers of storytelling in a desperate attempt to raise morale. As each takes their turn, from the captain (whose tale is masterfully recounted by Dickens himself) to the first mate (as told by Wilkie Collins), the Dickensian figures of miser and murderer, orphan and ghost, are brought on board with most remarkable effect. Ingeniously conceived and brilliantly rendered, 'The Wreck of the Golden Mary' gathers together the best of Victorian storytelling, set against a backdrop of the California gold rush.

À propos de l'auteur: Charles Dickens is one of England's most important literary figures. His works enjoyed enormous success in his day and are still regarded as among the most popular and widely read classics of all time. Simon Callow, star of Four Weddings and A Funeral, Shakespeare in Love and Amadeus, is one of the UK's most distinguished theatre and film actors.
